The Algonquin tribe of the Ottawa river valley have always lived in many small bands, each living separately from all the others. Each band would be made up of a number of extended family groups and each would have its own leaders and council of elders. Today the same situation still applies, with each band living on a separate reservation.
Each band's council would historically choose an okima, ogima or nàgànìdj (chief) from the sons, nephews or other male relatives of the previous chief.
Decisions would be considered by the council and okimatogether, with input from trusted men of the band, generally smoking one or more communal pipes. The ogima would consider all the options for some time before making a final decision.
Algonquin bands included:
- Kitchisipirini
- Weskarini
- Nibachi
- Matouweskarini
- Kotakoutouemi
- Sagaiguninini
